Answer 1

Answer:

a = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the expression:

12x² + ax - 20

3x + 4 is a factor. Therefore:

12x² + ax - 20 = (3x · 4x) + ax + (4 · (-5))

12x² + ax - 20 = (3x + 4)(4x - 5)

(3x + 4)(4x - 5) = (3x)(4x) + (3x)(-5) + (4)(4x) + (4)(-5)

= 12x² - 15x + 16x - 20 = 12x² + x - 20

a = 1

Other method:

12x² + ax - 20 = (3x + 4)(bx + c)

12x² + ax - 20 = (3x)(bx) + (3x)(c) + (4)(bx) + (4)(c)

12x² + ax - 20 = 3bx² + 3cx + 4bx + 4c

12x² + ax - 20 = 3b² + (3c + 4b)x + 4c

therefore

3b = 12

a = 3c + 4b

4c = -20

3b = 12 ⇒ b = 4

4c = -20 ⇒ c = -5

substitute to a:

a = 3 · (-5) + 4 · 4

a = -15 + 16

a = 1

The equation y = 1/3x - 2 passes through the diagonals of ZDRN

How to determine the end result?

The points are given as:

Z = (-3, -1)

D= (3, -1)

R = (3, -3)

N = (-3, -3)

The equation of the line is given as:

y = 1/3x - 2

When the points and the line equation are plotted in a graph on the same coordinate (see attachment), we can see that the equation y = 1/3x - 2 passes through the points Z = (-3, -1) and N = (-3, -3)

These points are the diagonals of the shape formed by the four points

Hence, the equation y = 1/3x - 2 passes through the diagonals of ZDRN

Solve |x| > -9.

1. no solution
2. all reals
3. {x | x < -9 or x > 9}

Answers

Answer:

2. All reals

Step-by-step explanation:

It covers everything as absolute value (distance from 0)

If you graph it you will see

Answer:  All reals

Reason:

Absolute value represents distance on a number line. Specifically it's the distance from x to 0.

For example, |-2| = 2 means -2 is 2 units away from 0.

Since |x| represents a distance, we cannot have negative distance. So |x| is either 0 or positive. Furthermore, it means |x| is larger than any negative value you pick.

Therefore, |x| > -9 is true for any x value and it's why we go for "all reals" (aka "all real numbers")

Answers

Answer: D) -304

Step-by-Step Solution:

=> f(x) = 5x - 1
=> g(x) = 2x^2 + 1
=> Find value of (f * g)(-3)

First Substitute x as -3 in f(x) and g(x) :-

f(x) = 5x - 1
f(-3) = 5(-3) - 1
f(-3) = -15 - 1
=> f(-3) = -16

g(x) = 2x^2 + 1
g(-3) = 2(-3^2) + 1
g(-3) = 2(9) + 1
g(-3) = 18 + 1
=> g(-3) = 19

Now Multiply f(-3) with g(-3) :-

= f(-3) * g(-3)
= -16 * 19
=> -304

Therefore, (f * g)(-3) = -304


the population of blackbirds in a park is counted every year.
the population decreases by 24% to 323
what was the original population?

Answers

Answer:

the original population was 425

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

425

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original population of blackbirds be x.

Original population              decreases by                   New population

          100                                     24                                       76

            x                                        24                                     323

Now we can make an expression like this.

100  ⇒  76

x     ⇒   323

And now let us use cross multiplication and solve for x.

Let us solve it now.

323 × 100 = 76x

32300 = 76x

425=  x

Answer:

first blank: 3

second blank: 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The completed equation should say:

y = -3x + 4

This is slope-intercept form of the equation. It's a fill-in-the-blank equation. You put the slope in the first blank and the y-intercept in the second blank. Your math program put the negative sign in and it does need to be there. To find the slope, look at the points on the line. To get from one point to the next you go DOWN3 and over 1. DOWN3 and OVER1 is the slope -3/1, which is -3. This number goes beside (in front of) the x. The line crosses the y-axis at 4, fill that in at the end of the equation (the second blank).

The equation for the line is

y = -3x + 4

There are 19 animals on the farm which contains hens and goats. There are 68 legs in total. How many goats are there on the farm?

Answers

Answer: 15 goats

Step-by-step explanation:

h = hens - they have 2 legs

g = goats - they have 4 legs

The equations would be:

h + g = 19

2h + 4g = 68

To solve this, I personally prefer substitution, we're isolating h since we need to find g:

h + g = 19

h = 19 - g

Now that we have h, we can plug this into the second equation:

2h + 4g = 68

2(19 - g) + 4g = 68

38 - 2g + 4g = 68

2g = 30

g = 15

There are 15 goats.

Adding onto this, 19 - 15 = 4, so there are 4 hens.

A company ordered $6,000 worth of chairs. Some of the chairs ordered cost $20 each and the others cost $40 each. If twice as many $20 chairs as $40 chairs were ordered, how many chairs were ordered altogether

Answers

In total 180 chairs are ordered for the cost $6000.

The total cost of chairs=$6,000.

What are simultaneous equations?

In mathematics, a set of simultaneous equations, also known as a system of equations or an equation system, is a finite set of equations for which common solutions are sought.

Let x be the chairs ordered each at $20 and y be the chairs ordered each at $40.

Then equation will be 20x+40y=6000-------(1)

Given that, twice as many $20 chairs as $40 chairs were ordered.

That is 2x=y⇒2x-y=0--------(2)

Multiply equation (2) by 40.

That is 80x-40y=0--------(3)

By adding equation (2) and (3) we get

20x+40y+80x-40y=6000

⇒100x=6000

⇒x=60

Substitute x=60 in equation (2)

That is, 2x=y

⇒y=120

Total number of chairs=x+y=60+120=180 chairs.

Hence, in total 180 chairs are ordered for the cost $6000.

Answers

Answer: 72 inches squared

Step-by-step explanation:

So, the real floor of a classroom is 36 feet by 32 feet.

And the scale drawing, has length of the classroom equal to 9 inches.

What is the area in square inches of the floor in the scale drawing

1 foot = 12 inches

The length of the classroom, measured in feet, has been multiplied by 12, to get converted in inches. After that, it has been divided by a number, a proportion, to get to 9 inches.

36feet * 12 / x = 9 inches

432 inches / x = 9 inches

Now, to solve for x, we can cross-multiply

432 inches = 9x inches

Divide 9 inches on both sides.

x = 48

To solve the exercise, we need to calculate the floor's area in the scale drawing.

We have the length = 9 inches.

Now, let's calculate the width

Width = 32 feet * 12 / 48

Width = 384 inches / 48

Width = 8 inches

Area = Length * Width

Area = 9 inches * 8 inches

Area = 72 inches squared

Hope I helped!

work out the length x in the triangle

Answers

Answer:

The length x is 16 m

==============

Imagine the height of the triangle is h, which is perpendicular to 15 m side.

The area is:

A = bh/2

Use this formula and given values and find the value of h:

60 = 15h/2h = 60*2/15h = 8 m

Since h is opposite to 30° angle and x is the hypotenuse of the formed right triangle, we'll use the property of 30°x60°x90° triangle.

Hypotenuse is twice the length of the side opposite to 30° angle.

In our case h is opposite to 30° angle, therefore we have:

x = 2h = 2*8 = 16 m

Answer:

x = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

the area (A) of the triangle is calculated as

A = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] absinC

where a, b are 2 sides of the triangle and C the angle between them

here a = 15, b = x, C = 30° and A = 60 , then

[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × 15 × x × sin30° = 60

7.5x × [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] = 60 ( multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction )

7.5x = 120 ( divide both sides by 7.5 )

x = 16

Javier is comparing costs of two cars. Car A costs $130 per month for insurance and $0.10 per mile to run. Car B costs $108 per month for insurance and $0.15 per mile to run. He defines x as the number of miles driven each month and y as the total cost to run the car. Which set of equations can be used to find the number of miles Javier would need to drive to make the costs equal?
0.10 x = 130. 0.15 y = 108
y = 0.10 x + 130. y = 0.15 x + 108
0.10 x = 108. 0.15 y = 130
y = 0.15 x + 130. y = 0.10 x + 108

Answers

Answer:

y = 0.10 x + 130. y = 0.15 x + 108

Step-by-step explanation:

0.10 and 0.15 are the slope in the equation y = mx + b since it requires an input (number of miles) to spit out an output (number of miles*0.10 = price) and the x intercept is 130 and 108 creating the equation  y = 0.10 x + 130. y = 0.15 x + 108.
